Most Enjoyable! - There are three different boat trips on offer. We did a 2 hour trip round the loch, and ended at seal island, a rather small island, but with many seals and a variety of seabirds. The crew are friendly (“Anybody want a go at driving?”) and we received a friendly but knowledgeable talk on the history of the area, and description of sights on the way. Comfortable, with drinks available, and toilet. Good value.

Afternoon cruise in Fort William - An excellent 2 hours spent on the Loch. The two lady crew members were very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent commentary during the voyage. We did spot a number of seals but other wildlife were hiding! We did however see the top of Ben Nevis which can be a rare!

Excellent cruise and excellent crew - Excellent cruise, knowledgeable and welcoming and helpful crew. The crew had a great sense of humor and provided so much information about the Loch and surrounding area. The care taken when approaching the seals was so thoughtful and the reasons why this is so important was explained. It's good to know the company care about the welfare of the wildlife. Highly recommend this trip. Our dog Mabel enjoyed her first cruise.

Great cruise on Loch Linnhe - Well organised cruise on Loch Linnhe. Small, clean boat with friendly crew. Very welcoming and looked after us on the two hour cruise. Guide was very entertaining, providing lots of information on the local area and history. Binoculars are provided in the cabin if required. On the return to harbour, the skipper gave opportunity to steer the boat back to shore. Great tour, highly recommended and be prepared for any weather.

Seal safari with no hunting involved - My partner loves anything animal orientated, so when we came across the cruise as an activity in Fort William sightseeing, it was a priority. The trip didn't disappoint. Exactly as described, a tour of the loch and its history ending with a few minutes circling seal island. It's amazing to see them with pups basking on the rock. The boat trip was well organised and staff versed in accomodating the public...plus dogs in our case. Snacks and drinks for those who wanted them with toilet facilities provided. It's a lovely way to spend a couple of hours.
